Who I help

If any of these sound
familiar, we should talk.

You have a great product and a technical team that built it. What you don't have is a repeatable way to sell it. Here is exactly what that gap looks like.

No sales foundation
You have a product. You have no engine to sell it.
  • No sales methodology, no discovery framework, no qualification criteria, no closing process
  • No defined ICP, you're pitching everyone and winning no-one
  • No messaging, you can't explain what you do in language that resonates with buyers
  • No sales assets, no one-pagers, no battlecards, no proposal template
No pipeline or outreach engine
You don't know how to generate consistent, qualified pipeline.
  • All pipeline comes from the founder's network, when the network dries up, there's nothing behind it
  • You don't know how to cold call, right opener, pitch, objection handling, next step
  • No multi-touch outbound sequence combining calls, email, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp
  • You pitch before you understand the problem, discovery calls don't uncover the real need
No system, data, or visibility
Nothing is tracked, nothing is predictable, nothing is scalable.
  • No CRM, or a CRM nobody uses, so deals live in someone's head or a spreadsheet
  • No KPI framework, no activity metrics, no conversion rates, no pipeline ratios to track
  • No pipeline visibility, you can't forecast because you don't know which deals are real
  • Sales activities are disorganised, no daily structure, no weekly rhythm, no priority framework

Any of this is fixable. All of it, if needed.

Deal·Stack · Proprietary framework

The GTM
Maturity Index.

Five stages, from founder-led revenue to a scaled commercial engine. Select where you stand today and see what it is costing you, what to build next, and what the milestone looks like when you get there.

Stage 0 · Starting point
No sales function
Revenue exists, but it is founder-driven, referral-dependent, and has nothing systematic behind it. Every deal needs personal involvement. No process, no pipeline, no data.
Referral-trapped
People
  • Founder closes every deal
  • No dedicated sales resource
  • No roles, no mandate
  • Everyone does sales sometimes
Process
  • No defined sales stages
  • No qualification criteria
  • No follow-up system
  • Each deal handled ad hoc
Tools and assets
  • No CRM, deals in spreadsheets
  • No pitch deck or one-pager
  • No proposal template
  • Messaging lives in the founder’s head
Cost of staying here
When the founder stops selling, revenue stops. Companies stuck here for 12+ months hit a network ceiling that no amount of effort can break through. The average cost: 18 to 24 months of missed pipeline growth, deals lost to structured competitors, and a business that cannot scale or be sold without the founder in every room.
The milestone
The founder makes a deliberate decision to build a commercial function. A first sales resource, hire or fractional, is in place with a defined mandate. Revenue is no longer entirely dependent on who the founder knows.
Core risk if you don’t move
If this decision is delayed, the network ceiling becomes permanent. Competitors with outbound engines are already taking the accounts you are not reaching.

Maturity levelStage 0 of 4
Stage 1 · Foundation build
Commercial infrastructure
You are building the engine before you accelerate. ICP is defined, messaging is documented, a basic process exists. Sales can function, even without the founder in the room.
Building the engine
People and roles
  • First dedicated sales hire or fractional SD
  • Clear mandate and ownership
  • Onboarding plan exists
  • Founder stepping back
Process
  • ICP defined by industry, size, trigger
  • Sales stages mapped (5 to 7 steps)
  • Basic qualification (BANT/MEDDIC)
  • Follow-up and next-step discipline
Assets and tools
  • CRM configured and in use
  • Value proposition documented
  • One-pager and pitch deck built
  • Proposal template created
  • Basic objection handling guide
Cost of staying here
Companies stuck at Stage 1 lose 30 to 40% of addressable pipeline to competitors who can prospect systematically. Without an outbound engine, growth is permanently capped at what inbound and referrals can deliver. Every month here is a month a competitor with structured outbound is taking accounts you should own.
The milestone
A new rep can join and have something to run. The founder is no longer the only person who can close a deal. The first deal sourced entirely outside the founder’s network is closed.
Core risk if you don’t move
Staying at Stage 1 while trying to scale headcount is the most common growth trap. More reps with no system produces more chaos, not more revenue.
What to build next
Revenue Engine Build
The outbound engine, cold calling, email sequences, CRM and methodology.

Maturity levelStage 1 of 4
Stage 2 · Pipeline engine
Consistent, qualified pipeline
Outbound and inbound motions are running. Meetings come from a system, not a network. Discovery is structured. Pipeline is visible and the forecast is meaningful.
Pipeline-driven
Outbound motion
  • Target account list (200 to 500 accounts)
  • Cold calling with structured opener
  • Email sequences (3 to 5 step cadences)
  • LinkedIn social selling
  • Weekly prospecting KPIs
Discovery and qualification
  • Structured discovery framework
  • Business case built in every deal
  • Champion identified and mapped
  • Buying committee understood
  • MEDDIC scoring applied
Inbound handling
  • MQL to SQL qualification process
  • Response time SLA under 2hr
  • Inbound routing and assignment
  • Demo and trial process defined
Cost of staying here
Teams at Stage 2 typically have activity without conversion. Without a coached team and smarketing alignment, win rates run 15 to 20% below potential. The cost: deals that reached final round and were lost on execution, not fit, and a team that can generate meetings but not reliably close them.
The milestone
Pipeline exists independently of the founder’s network. Next quarter is predictable within 20% accuracy. At least one rep is booking and closing deals without founder involvement.
Core risk if you don’t move
A pipeline that is not converting is more damaging than no pipeline. It builds false confidence and burns team morale. The conversion problem compounds quietly.

Maturity levelStage 2 of 4
Stage 3 · Sales execution
Team performance and playbook
The team runs the process. Reps are ramped, coached, and held to clear KPIs. Sales and marketing are aligned. You have a playbook, and reps actually use it.
Process-driven
Team and enablement
  • Ramp plan for every new hire
  • Weekly 1:1 coaching cadence
  • Call recordings reviewed regularly
  • Talk tracks and objection library
  • QBR rhythm established
Sales operations
  • CRM data clean and trusted
  • Pipeline stages with exit criteria
  • Forecast methodology (commit / best case)
  • Territory and account assignment
  • Comp plan aligned to targets
Smarketing alignment
  • Shared ICP and account segments
  • Agreed MQL/SQL definition
  • Joint pipeline review weekly
  • Account-based plays (1:1, 1:few)
  • Marketing SLA on lead response
Cost of staying here
At Stage 3, the risk is invisible plateau. Teams look functional but consistently underperform on forecast accuracy, ramp time and deal size without anyone pinpointing why. Win rates erode within 6 to 9 months as markets shift and competitors adapt faster.
The milestone
The sales manager runs the team without the founder. Forecast accuracy within 15%. New reps hit quota within 90 days. The playbook is followed without being enforced.
Core risk if you don’t move
A team that performs without a clear ceiling to break through will plateau. Without deliberate optimisation, Stage 3 becomes a ceiling, not a launchpad.
What to build next

Maturity levelStage 3 of 4
Stage 4 · Scale
Predictable revenue machine
The commercial engine is running. Now you expand into new markets, new segments, new channels. Growth is driven by retention and expansion as much as new business.
Revenue-compounding
Market expansion
  • New geographies and regions
  • New verticals with segment playbooks
  • Enterprise vs mid-market coverage
  • Partner and channel layer added
  • Localisation of assets and process
Expansion revenue
  • Customer success with upsell mandate
  • Renewal process and early warning
  • Land-and-expand playbook
  • Multi-product cross-sell motion
  • NRR as north-star metric
Revenue operations
  • Centralised RevOps function
  • Sales, marketing, CS share one P&L view
  • AI-assisted prospecting and enrichment
  • Board-ready revenue forecast
  • Magic number / efficiency tracked
Cost of staying here
At Stage 4, the cost of inaction is compounding speed loss. Companies that do not activate the partner layer and CS expansion motion miss NRR above 110%, the metric that separates category leaders from everyone else. Every quarter without it is a quarter competitors are compounding growth you are leaving on the table.
The milestone
Net revenue retention above 110%. The customers you keep and expand offset the ones you lose. The business grows even in a flat new-business quarter. Growth compounds.
Core risk if you don’t move
Most companies believe they have reached Stage 4 before they have. True scale requires all three columns running simultaneously. Expansion without RevOps visibility is growth without control.
What to build next
Partner Programme and Revenue Operations
Activate the expansion layer, compound growth, and build a board-ready revenue operation.

Process

How we work together:
Four steps. No slide decks. Real output.

Step 01 · Diagnose
One call. I map where you are.

ICP, pipeline, outbound, CRM, team, I identify the exact bottleneck. No generic audit. A direct, honest read on what is broken and what it will take to fix it.

Step 02 · Build
I build from week one.

Talk tracks, email sequences, CRM configuration, pipeline stages, not after a strategy document, not after three workshops. I build immediately and you see output in week one.

Step 03 · Execute
I run the outbound myself.

I make the calls. Coach the team live. Pipeline appears while the infrastructure is being built, not after it is finished. This is the part most consultants don't do.

Step 04 · Hand over
I document everything and step back.

You keep the system. You own the pipeline. No dependency built in. No retainer that outlasts its usefulness. That is the whole model.

Proof, not a claim
// Zentara Technologies · B2B Cybersecurity · Southeast Asia · Aug 2025-May 2026

Built from nothing.
$1.4M pipeline.
9 months.

Zentara Technologies, a B2B cybersecurity company selling into banking, government, and critical infrastructure across Southeast Asia, with a base in Indonesia. Zero sales infrastructure. No CRM, no outbound, no team, no pipeline, no process. The founder was closing every deal through his personal network with nothing repeatable behind it.

Nine months later, a complete revenue organisation. A full outbound engine sits at the centre of it: cold-calling talk tracks that book meetings, and email sequences written to get opened, read, and replied to. The first enterprise banking opportunity was sourced cold through LinkedIn and carried all the way to final round. Behind it, an ICP framework and messaging, a CRM built from scratch, and AI tools implemented to automate sales outreach and surface the accounts showing real buying intent. Two SDRs trained through a 6-week sales coaching programme, a partner ecosystem activated, and a cybersecurity convention owned end-to-end, generating 100+ qualified conversations across 7 countries.

"Before this engagement, no sales infrastructure. No playbook. No team. No pipeline. No tools. No process. No methodology. Today, a modern, AI-powered revenue organisation."

Engagement concluded May 2026. Commercial system handed over and running.

About
Mina Sattari
Fractional Sales Director & GTM Strategist · Founder, Deal Stack

I help B2B companies build and scale revenue engines, from zero pipeline to a commercial organisation with a repeatable system to build, track, and grow pipeline. Built on valid data, automated processes, and an adaptable sales methodology. Over the past 15 years, I've led enterprise sales at VMware and Broadcom across the DACH market before going independent, to bring the same outbound discipline, GTM rigour, and cold calling methodology that closes deals at the enterprise level to the founders and scale-ups that need it most.

I am not a consultant who delivers a slide deck and disappears. I build the engine, make the calls, coach the team, and leave when things are running. No dependency built in. No retainer that outlasts its usefulness.

Based in Barcelona. Native German and English speaker. I work across DACH, Nordics, Southern Europe, and the Gulf.
